Heeelp, has anyone managed to find Saturday's Olympic MTB on iPlayer? I've literally just seeked through what the schedule claims is the right program (4pm-7pm, BBC4) stopping every few minutes and couldn't find it at all. ๐Ÿ™

On the BBC Olympics website rather than iPlayer:

So when the BBC Four listing says "XC MTB" they did in fact lie. Luckily my tele has a BBC Sport button too, so I can watch this on the tele. Thanks!

Searched for 'mountain' on iplayer and it was the only option.

click the live Rio stuff and scroll down. It is there but not in the live coverage that claims to have it but was Tom going pear shaped in the diving and the golf.

Is it just me who thought the course was terrible. It didn't do the riders justice.

I didn't think it was too bad. I bet it is better in real life than on the helicopter shots and the course is always going to be compromised by making it good for spectators and TV coverage.

At the end of the day it is XC not downhill so not supposed to be fully gnarr.
